Do you need window mastic in Chicheley?
Frames are never completely still. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
In the older streets around Church of St Lawrence, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What your quote should include
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Are they insured?

About our window mastic in Chicheley
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. If you have a bead that doesn’t match the frame and whistling draughts around closed windows, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Chicheley, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere like Chicheley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Frames and glazing around Chicheley
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Linford Manor (about 3.9 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Chicheley has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you look after a building such as Sherington Church of England School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Questions from Chicheley
Can you do window mastic in Chicheley?

How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
The work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not generally, if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we’ll pick a sealant to suit.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames usually suit brown.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We can do either or both.
Why it’s worth doing now in Chicheley
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. In a small place like Chicheley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, including the one between the sill and the frame above. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
